حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: نَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ: نَا عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زُمَيْلٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ:
" لَمَّا اعْتَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ يَنْكُتُونَ بِالْحَصَا وَيَقُولُونَ: طَلَّقَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْمَرْنَ بِالْحِجَابِ، قَالَ: فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا بِنْتَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ شَأْنُكِ أَنْ تُؤْذِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَتْ: مَا لِي وَلَكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، عَلَيْكَ بِعَيْبَتِكَ، فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ عُمَرَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا حَفْصَةُ قَدْ بَلَغَ مِنْ شَأْنِكِ أَنْ تُؤْذِي اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ؟ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يُحِبُّكِ وَلَوْلَا أَنَا لَطَلَّقَكِ، قَالَ: فَبَكَتْ أَشَدَّ الْبُكَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: فِي خِزَانَتِهِ فِي الْمَشْرُبَةِ، فَإِذَا بِغُلَامِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَبَاحٍ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى أُسْكُفَّةِ الْمَشْرُبَةِ مُدَلٍّ رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى نَقِيرٍ مِنْ خَشَبِ وَهُوَ جِذْعٌ يَرْقَى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَنَادَيْتُ: يَا رَبَاحُ اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْغُرْفَةِ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ شَيْئًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَبَاحُ اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنِّي أَظُنُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ظَنَّ أَنِّي جِئْتُ مِنْ أَجْلِ حَفْصَةَ، وَاللهِ لَوْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهَا لَضَرَبْتُ عُنُقَهَا، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ بِيَدِهِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ عَلَى حَصِيرٍ فَجَلَسْتُ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ إِزَارٌ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرُهُ، وَإِذَا الْحَصِيرُ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَذَهَبْتُ أَرْمِي بِبَصَرِي فِي خِزَانَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا شَطْرٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ قَدْرَ صَاعٍ وَقَرَظٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْغُرْفَةِ فَابْتَدَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ " قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا أَبْكِي وَهَذَا الْحَصِيرُ قَدْ أَثَّرَ فِي جَسَدِكَ، وَهَذِهِ خِزَانَتُكَ لَا أَرَى فِيهَا إِلَّا مَا أَرَى وَقَيْصَرُ وَكِسْرَى فِي الثِّمَارِ وَالْأَنْهَارِ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَصَفْوَتُهُ وَهَذِهِ خِزَانَتُكَ، قَالَ: أَلَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَنَا الْآخِرَةُ ؟ " قُلْتُ: بَلَى، وَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَرَى فِي وَجْهِهِ الْغَضَبَ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا شَقَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَأْنِ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ طَلَّقْتَهُنَّ فَإِنَّ اللهَ مَعَكَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَأَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَقَلَّمَا تَكَلَّمْتُ - وَأَحْمَدُ اللهَ - بِكَلَامٍ إِلَّا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُصَدِّقَ اللهُ قَوْلِي، وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ وَنَزَلَتْ وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ مَوْلاهُ وَجِبْرِيلُ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ، وَكَانَتْ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَحَفْصَةُ تُظَاهِرَانِ عَلَى سَائِرِ نِسَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ طَلَّقْتَهُنَّ ؟ قَالَ: " لَا "، قُلْتُ: أَنْزِلُ فَأُخْبِرُهُنَّ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تُطَلِّقْهُنَّ ؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ " فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُحَدِّثُهُ حَتَّى كَشَرَ الْغَضَبُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، وَكَشَّرَ يَضْحَكُ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ ثَغْرًا فَنَزَلَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَزَلْتُ أَتَشَبَّثُ بِالْجِذْعِ، وَنَزَلَ كَأَنَّمَا يَمْشِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مَا يَمَسُّهُ بِيَدِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كُنْتَ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " إِنَّ الشَّهْرَ قَدْ يَكُونُ تِسْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ". فَقُمْتُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَادَيْتُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِي: لَمْ يُطَلِّقْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نِسَاءَهُ، وَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ وَإِذَا جَاءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِنَ الأَمْنِ أَوِ الْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا بِهِ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِلَى أُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنْبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ، قَالَ: فَكُنْتُ أَنَا الَّذِي اسْتَنْبَطْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ - ﷺ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ withdrew from his wives, I entered the mosque and found the people tapping with pebbles and saying: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has divorced his wives." That was before the command of hijab. He said: I entered upon 'A'ishah and said, "O daughter of Abu Bakr, has your affair reached the point of harming the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" She said, "What have I to do with you, O son of al-Khattab? Attend to your own concerns." I entered upon Hafsah, daughter of 'Umar, and said, "O Hafsah, has your affair reached the point of harming Allah and His Messenger? You know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ does not love you, and were it not for me, he would have divorced you." He said: She wept intensely. I said, "Where is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: He is in his storeroom, in the upper room. I found the servant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Rabah, sitting on the threshold of the upper room, dangling his legs over a carved wooden trunk which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to climb. I called out, "O Rabah, ask permission for me to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He looked at the room, then looked at me, and said nothing. I said, "O Rabah, ask permission for me to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for I think he supposes I came for Hafsah's sake. By Allah, if he ordered me to strike her neck, I would strike her neck." He gestured to me, and I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was lying on a mat. I sat down, and he had only a waist wrapper on him, nothing else. The mat had left marks on his body. I cast my gaze around the storeroom of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I saw a small amount of barley, about a sa', and some leaves of the sant tree in a corner of the room. My eyes filled with tears. He said, "What makes you weep, O son of al-Khattab?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, why should I not weep when this mat has left marks on your body, and this is your storeroom with nothing in it but what I see, while Caesar and Chosroes live amidst fruits and rivers? You are the Messenger of Allah and His chosen one, and this is your storeroom." He said, "Are you not pleased that they have this world and we have the Hereafter?" I said, "Yes." I had entered upon him while I could see anger in his face. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what hardship has come to you from the matter of the women? If you have divorced them, Allah is with you, and His angels, and Jibril, and Mika'il, and I, and Abu Bakr." Rarely did I speak words - and I praise Allah - except that I hoped Allah would confirm my saying. Then this verse was revealed: "Perhaps his Lord, if he divorces you, will give him in exchange wives better than you" (Qur'an 66:5). And it was revealed: "If you two support one another against him, then indeed Allah is his protector, and Jibril..." (Qur'an 66:4) to the end of the verse. The daughter of Abu Bakr and Hafsah used to support one another against the rest of the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you divorce them?" He said, "No." I said, "Should I go down and inform them that you have not divorced them?" He said, "Yes, if you wish." I kept talking to him until the anger left his face, and he smiled with his teeth showing, and he had the most beautiful mouth of all people. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ descended, and I descended, clinging to the wooden trunk. He descended as if walking on the ground without touching it with his hand. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you were in the upper room for twenty-nine days?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the month may be twenty-nine." I stood at the door of the mosque and called out at the top of my voice: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has not divorced his wives." And the verse was revealed: "When news of safety or fear comes to them, they spread it; but if they had referred it to the Messenger and to those in authority among them, those who can draw conclusions would have known it" (Qur'an 4:83). He said: I was the one who drew that conclusion from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

حدث به مرزوق بن أبي الهذيل عن الزهري فقال عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن عتبة بن مسعود عن ابن عباس عن عمر ووهم في نسبه وإنما هو عبيد الله بن عبد الله بن أبي ثور كذلك رواه الحفاظ عن الزهري ولهذا الحديث طرق كثيرة عن ابن عباس عن عمر صحاح
machine translationMarzūq b. Abī al-Hudhayl narrated it from al-Zuhrī and said: "from ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUtbah b. Masʿūd, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿUmar," but he erred in his lineage; he is in fact ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abī Thawr. This is how the memorizers (ḥuffāẓ) narrated it from al-Zuhrī. This hadith has many authentic (ṣaḥīḥ) routes from Ibn ʿAbbās, from ʿUmar.
